Greetings everybody; I bought an iPAQ 3850 for the missus to keep track of her bowling scores etc, and I'm having a hell of a time trying to talk to it. Fedora Core 6, up2date. Kernel 2.6.20, modules for ppp and ipaq built and installed & modprobed. A couple of pl2303 cables are in use here, and the one hooked to the iPAQ's serial cable is /dev/ttyUSB0, at least for this reboot, who knows where it will be on the next one? :-) Following the directions at <http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/kde/synce-kde-basic-configuration.php> I have some diffs in the log messages, some I think caused by there being two of these pl2303 cables in use here. I have succeeded in getting the iPAQ to chime at me and claim it is connected, but it times out in about a minute and disconnects. I can't seem to find a copy of "vdccm", but do have "dccm", which must be run as a user, not root. And when its run, its totally mute, not displaying the hex dump shown on the above page. I assume thats a major problem, how is that to be fixed? Where can I find a copy of this 'vdccm' thing? And whats the difference between it and dccm? So I thought I might have enough to talk to it installed, but when I get to that part of the above tutorial where it demos the connection using konqeror via the 'rapip:' protocol, then both konqi and FF report that they have no knowledge of the rapip protocol. Does anyone have a clue where I might have made a wrong turn other than to confirm that I was out of my mind when I bought this thing? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
